ORPC has experimented with a turbine pilot in Cobscook Bay. The site would require transmission lines. It might provide a percentage of power to Maine, but approval of any large scale turbine system is questionable. Many of the same problems as the Nova Scotia site.

Wave energy proposals seem more likely to generate larger amounts of power, but so far experimentation seems mostly confined to Europe. It's future, however, looks interesting.
